Loulabelle's FrancoFiles Ep 11 - Coco Chanel - the life, the woman, the icon.

Lou and her belle amie Sarah Zwick discuss French iconic designer Coco Chanel. She was a personal favourite for Sarah growing up in France with some of her earliest memories of her grandmother and mother always wearing  Chanel No 5.

We chat about Coco's millenary, her rise to greatness with fans such as Marilyn Monroe, her impact and lasting legacy on women's fashion and her fascinating social circles including  Russian Tsars.

With tips on Chanel shopping in Paris, music from the 2009 film Coco Avant Chanel (with a song famously sung by Coco herself in her youth) and a recipe to fit Coco's diet of champagne and caviar, this episode will transport to a time gone by in Paris and France.
